There’s this Jaga Singh who was working for a multi-millionare as a
night guard. One day, while the millionaire was driving out to catch
an early morning flight to conclude a business deal, Jaga Singh ran
out from the guard house and stopped the millionaire’s car just right
in front of the gate.
He said ‘Sir..Sir.. are you going to board a plane?’ ‘Yes, why?’
asked the millionaire. ‘You had better cancel the trip. You see, last
night I dreamt about the plane going to crash.’
Curious over the early morning fright that Jaga Singh had given, the
multimillionaire decided to cancel his trip. ‘You better be damn right
for this is a million dollar deal.’
The following day, there were news reports that the plane which the
millionaire was supposed to take had indeed crash landed. ! ‘Thank God
I cancelled the trip,.’ the rich man said. Realising that what Jaga Singh
had said had come true, he called the Singh to see him.
When the guard was called that morning, the millionaire gave him his
salary and FIRED him.
Why?
Hi June,
The gurad was sleeping while on duty.
Fired him as a security guard but re-hired him as a “Futures” Adviser…..for that USD700 billion dollar deal.
Hi June
He slept while on duty and that was his dream.
Cheers

I think Ivan gave a good answer. I’ll therefore do what I do best……cut & paste and offer my answer.
Singh : “……..the plane going to crash.”
M’aire : “…….You better be damn right”
News : “………plane crash landed”.
“crashed” does not equal “crash landed” – in the latter, “no casualty” is not unheard of – so Singh wasnt “damn right” with his prediction.
Agnes probably got the correct answer. A Sleeping Night Guard…….
Andrew
Ya lah, this one very easy.
Hi..anyone out there… anymore of the brush or coffin riddle?..:-)…those types really split your brains.:-)
Btw, Ivan’s reply was really good man!!! Anymore Ivans out there?..:-)
Here’s 2 brain teasers to keep
your brain cells active :)
1) At a bus depot, 3 passengers board the bus and sit down.
After 1st stop, 1 person leaves the bus while 10 more
ppl come on board. Two stops later, 5 ppl leaves the bus.
And then on the next stop, 50 more ppl board and sit
down. After 8 stops, 3 more come on board while one
leaves. How many ppl are there on the bus ?
2) Inside a car there was a dead man who was shot in the
head by another person.
The car had its windows rolled up tight, the doors were
locked, the car was not running and there’s no bullet
holes anywhere on the car.
How did the suspect kill this man?
Enjoy your weekend cracking your head!
Let me attempt the 2nd one 1st. The suspect was inside the car.
Andrew
Let me guess the 1st one. Answer= 3 passengers . The rest of the passengers boarded another bus in the depot.
Andrew
1)..60 pax?
2)same answer as Andrew…
he and she on way home, and she asked how’s his divorce coming along and he said, he finds it so hard to give up his dearest wife… so in a fit of anger, she snatched his gun from his holster..btw he’s a CID detective on duty…and shot him in the head.
lol!!!
Clue to #2
Car doors were locked. Hence,
killer cannot enter car.
Pls try again Anrew & June :)
Hehe…I was concentrating on the car. Another guess: He was shot outside the car and dumped inside.
Andrew
Hi Constance,
I would like to try on both questions…
My answer to Q1: 60 ppl on the bus, including the driver.
As regards to Q2: A man shot dead on the head found within a bullet-proof car…this isn’t an ordinary car, could it be a Convertible,otherwise, how can the suspect reach him!
Look forward to meeting you at our monthly gathering soon.
Cheers,
Sue
Kill that s-o-b elsewhere, dump him in the car then lock it and happily go attend SHC mthly gathering………..
Hey Constance
How come 50 people (!!!) board at this bus stop. Where is this bus stop? Where did they come from? Where are they going to? I sure like to know. Also, does this bus have a bus conductor? No mention of year and country. So how to solve teaser with incomplete info ah.
As for the killer question, ya lah, like what Andrew said, the suspect is the other person in the car. Beats me why he is still in the car though.
Joy
Hi All:
1) Answer…..59?
2) Dont know.
#10 June Lim:
Wow!!! yr answer is so creative like watching a movie……..Ha Ha!!!!
Hello Everyone,
Answer to #1 is 60 ppl.
Applause to June & Susan for the
correct answer.
Maureen, u forget to add the driver.
To Joy’s inquiries -(which I found very humurous)
“How come 50 people (!!!) board at this bus stop. Where is this bus stop? Where did they come from? Where are they going to?” -These ppl are AIA policy holders,going to AIA Towers enquiring about their policies. :)
Answer to #2
Again applause to Susan for the correct answer.
Yes, the man is in a convertible and the top was down.
I have a good laugh to June’s story telling and offer my version:
The dead man was followed to the car by “Ah Long” mafia.
His car is custom made with bullet-proof and damage resistance features.
Once inside, he pressed all the safety buttons to protect himself. But in his panicky state, he accidentally, also press to have the top down. Alas, what irony & tragedy. :)
